Being even mildly politically aware is hell. "Why is gas so high???" Bitch i outta smack you

Idk I have so little patience for willfully ignorant people. You know the entire plot of Fruit Love Island or whatever the fuck but can't take an hour outta your day to look up why everything is falling apart around you? Embarrassing

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

In Gaza you can see everything bad that comes to mind, literally everything. You can see missiles falling on residential areas and exploding, completely destroying them, and no one survives. You can also see helicopters firing bullets more heavily than rain toward houses or what remains of houses and tents, and tanks firing shells toward you without stopping.

In the streets of the world everything is clean and full of flowers, but with us there are no more flowers, only tents for the displaced and graves of the martyrs. You cannot see anything beautiful; all you see is destruction, bombing, devastation, killing, displacement, and hunger.

Everything that is not beautiful you find with us. Everything is difficult, everything is bitter. We suffer. Listen to our cries and do not leave us. Wars are supposed to be between armies, but here the war is between a Nazi Zionist army and only elderly people, women, and children.

They have wiped out the entire youth category and destroyed an entire generation, rather generations. They have destroyed a city, executed our lives, killed us, and no one has held them accountable. Please share my blog, you will not lose anything, and donate to me and my family if you can, or send it to someone who can help. Do not pass by as if you have done nothing.

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012
